Aluminum very high

[Rick Strauss]

ICP test is back all looks not to bad except my aluminum. It’s at 200. It should only be 2! Will BRS GFO remove this? My Sps is not doing very good. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Polyfilter and metasorb will both capture aluminum as well as other metals. Cuprisorb will also do same.

As far as levels go, I will leave that to the chemists like randy and other to give opinions

Thanks I ordered some. Will Panta Lith help this problem?

I got Triton’s heavy metal absorber. Worked like a charm.

Is that triton detox?

 

[Rick Strauss]

Triton recommended Rowa Phos does this make sense? I was hoping not to use any phosphate remover as they are only .03 at the moment.

For aluminum?

Do you have marine pure blocks or spheres? If so, you need to pull them. Metasorb, gfo or triton detox will get it out, but since your phosphate is already down I'd go with metasorb or detox.

Thanks for the reply. I only have britewell NO3. I don’t think they leach?

Any science on this?

No just anecdotes and personal experience in my tank. My aluminum went from 250-280 to back to trace normal after I removed the blocks and used metasorb.

Well... I bought it for lead but a few months after using it, I sent off another sample. No significant metal of any kind.
